4 The HVAC HESS, a ten-year strategy under NFEE, focuses on energy effi ciency improvements in the installation, Operation and Maintenance of HVAC systems in commercial buildings. The current three-year work program under the Strategy known as the Cool Effi ciency Program commenced in 2009 10 FY. The Strategy is designed to achieve long term improvements in the energy effi ciency of HVAC systems, particularly in commercial building applications. The Strategy is aimed at whole of life improvements in HVAC effi ciency , encompassing design, manufacture, installation, Operation and Maintenance . A large part of the gains targeted are in the Maintenance and Operation of existing systems in existing buildings, and through the establishment of national standard systems of documentation of the design, installation, Operation and Maintenance of the equipment.

5 The Strategy has been designed to address many non technical barriers to effi ciency , while identifying and promoting highly effi cient technical solutions, systems optimisation processes, and creating the environment in which energy effi ciency gains are valued, measurable and sustainable. With more than 20 separate but complementary measures, the Strategy is aimed at three broad areas of HVAC improvements: Practices; Systems; and People. This project, funded under the Cool Effi ciency Program, is part of the National Strategy on energy Effi ciency , agreed by COAG on 2 July 2009.
